Rooftop Supports for Air conditioning Units from HVAC Roof Supports

Case Study
Blacktown City Council NSW
Rooftop Chiller Project
February 2010

M&H Air Conditioning required the urgent framework for a 5490kg PowerPax Chiller to be sited on the rooftop of Blacktown City Council NSW.

HVAC Roof Supports were contacted with an urgent request for supports for the Chiller, as the previous Project Manager left the company during the project planning phase, however he hadn't accounted for the support work.

The Chiller was on order, the crane had been arranged, however the oversight of frameworks meant an urgent response was required.

With a fantastic working relationship with the manufacturer of the BigFoot Systems (www.bigfootsystems.co.uk), and through our Australian Distributor, we were able to provide the framework in a cost effective and timely manner.

3 weeks from initial request to on-site delivery, with a CAD drawing of the framework provided, installation instructions, and all calculations completed to accommodate the Chiller safely on the rooftop, in order to spread the load evenly to distribute the weight.

M&H Air employed the services of an independent Structural Engineer to cross reference the data supplied, and was satisfied that the engineering was well made and up to the task.
